Canelo Alvarez lines up two-weight world champion for next title defence

Canelo Alvarez lines up two-weight world champion for next title defenceDAZN

Canelo Alvarez is speculated to be facing Jermall Charlo this September as he looks continue his dominance at 168lbs.  

The Mexican star retained his world titles earlier this year when outpointing John Ryder, and it appeared that he was heading for a rematch with Dmitry Bivol but that fight is no longer happening. 

Always a fighter with plenty of options due to his incredible popularity in the sport, it appears that Canelo will remain at super-middleweight and take on the challenge of Charlo.  

The unbeaten Texan has enjoyed success at 154lbs and the division above, but his inactivity, which goes past two years, could cost him against Canelo. 

Future options for Canelo at super-middleweight include David Benavidez and David Morrell, while a future return to 175lbs could eventually provide fans with the sequel to Canelo vs. Bivol.
